Psalm 123 ( A prayer for Mercy )


Lord, I look up to you,
up to heaven, where you rule.
As a servant depends on his master, 
as a maid depends on her mistress,
so we will keep looking to you, O Lord our God,
until you have mercy on us.

Be merciful to us, Lord, be merciful ;
we have been treated with so much contempt.
We have been mocked too long by the rich and scorned by proud oppressors.
